Mix elements together and blend interior design styles to create a space ­­— like coastal farmhouse — that showcases all aspects of your personality. DETERMINE WHICH INTERIOR DESIGN STYLE SUITS YOUR FANCY Modern, industrial, bohemian… The list goes on. Learn about some popular styles in interior design and discover which one suits your taste. MODERN This style is rooted in refined and crisp lines, has sleek touches and is considered minimalist. There is very little to no clutter and is characterized by strong geometric shapes and symmetry. INDUSTRIAL Often seen in loft / mill apartments, the industrial design style typically features distressed wooden elements, large windows and an open floor plan. Furniture used here — including leather, metal and wood pieces — draws inspiration from the use of exposed steel, brick and duct work. COASTAL This look reflects a New England beach house and is inspired by the hues of the ocean. The main color palette is bright and airy — typically whites and creams — with blue and green accents. Some accessories might be nautical or beach-themed. FARMHOUSE Classic farmhouse evokes feelings of warmth and comfort and features like distressed or reclaimed wooden elements, upholstered linen, neutral tones and white wash everything. BOHEMIAN This free-spirited design is defined by vibrant colors, patterns and globally inspired textiles. Think: macrame, rattan furniture, plants and a laissez- faire attitude. ◆ For more inspiration, check out @the617farmhouse on Instagram.
